How they connect

  • A Suggestion can become a Kaizen.

  • A Tag or EWO can lead to a Kaizen when the root cause needs a project.

  • A failed answer in a Lean Creator checklist can raise a Tag, Suggestion or Kaizen automatically.

  • A Loss Tree or a Time Study finding can start a Kaizen.

  • A completed Kaizen can be shared as a Best Practice.

  • An action is always a task inside a Kaizen, not a separate item.
